“I wish I had a big fat sausage to eat,” he said. As soon as he spoke the words, a large sausage appeared on his plate.

” Oh my goodness!” cried his wife, “Where did that come from?”

Then the woodcutter remembered what the wood nymph had said about the three wishes. He told his wife what had happened in the forest that morning.

” What? You wasted your wish on a sausage’? How could you be SO stupid? You are the most foolish man I’ve ever known. You know that we need a bigger home, a team of horses, and money to pay the taxes with! And you wished for a sausage, a stupid sausage! “

“Stop talking about it,” said the woodcutter. He became angry at his wife, and without thinking, he yelled, “I wish the sausage would stick to your nose!”

The sausage flew up from the plate and landed on the end of his wife’s nose. She tried to pull the sausage off her nose, but it wouldn’t budge. Her husband tried, too. He pulled very hard but it would not come off.
